Miserere Mei Deus 

the boy with the baloon who did this high pitch vocal brought me here and this is amazing vocals

The Top C is an amazing note. She sings so clearly, it is like a soul spiralling upto Heaven, and taking us with it. Truly inspiring.

As an orthodox Christian i find yhis masterpiece beautiful, a sound close to heaven music made by angels ! I dont care about Catholic or orthodox or anything else separates us. The God is one and all we are His children and all we are sinners with a little of His grace inside of us !

it doesn't matter what religion you follow, the beauty of this piece goes beyond any belief.

Despite the toxic world we currently inhabit, this is a reminder that spiritual beauty is transcendent. I feel cleansed listening to this.

This is on my bucket list to sing some day. I’m a mezzo soprano. This piece is absolutely enrapturing.

I'm an atheist and this brought me to tears, absolutely beautiful

As a Muslim, this brings tears to my eyes and makes me feel sad and excited at the same time. Unfortunatley, muslims have been facing a medieval dark age for years and miss every artistic beauty on this world. We will overcome this I hope...We believe in the same thing, except for our different perceptions of Jesus. To us, Jesus is one of the prophets sent by the same and mere God, Allah. We love him so much, just like we love other prophets. I hope all the people with sincere love of god goes to heaven, regardless of how they name their belief or culture.

as a muslim i find this very heavenly and a master piece, may everyone finds the peace within him ♥

Le Psaume 51 est chanté merveilleusement, c'est un cantique de repentance. Si tout un chacun se fait violence pour fuir l'orgueil et reconnaître ses fautes, tout le monde vivrait mieux, et la paix reviendrait dans nos pays.

That high C sounds so comfortably in the soprano's range, moreso than any other version I've heard. Amazing.

This wonderful piece of music and singing is beautiful and so are the words of the Psalmist. Its about coming to God with a repentance and brokenness. Knowing full well you are a sinner and feeling the weight of your sin. Its about coming to God the father and asking for forgiveness. We are all sinners and thats why Jesus paind the price once and for allfor all humanity's sin. We can be forgiven and made right with God the father through the sacrifice of Jesus his son. Peace and blessings to you all.

What a stunning masterpiece. The voices are amazing. The lady who hit the highest note really tugged on my heartstrings! Lol. I get goosebumps when I think about how people hundreds of years ago listened to the same piece of music I'm listening to now. It kind of blows my mind. I would love to see The Sixteen live, I think I would be overwhelmed with the beautiful sound and historic feeling. Lol. I love it.

Believe in God and you will be saved. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life.

i hope i can find similar music like this on the billboard 100 charts.

When i die this is the music i want to hear

I am heartbroken. I have yet to hear something as beautiful as this in my life. Just wow. Manly tears were shed.

Absolutely breathtaking... and that soprano 1 on the balcony... flawless every single time, and such a gorgeous, pure voice.

Popular legend has it that Pope Urban VIII held this piece in such high regard that the 1514 piece of music was never to leave St. Peter's, upon excommunication, except for three copies that were given to different ecumenical safekeeping. Upon hearing it once, 14 year old W.A. Mozart transcribed it, from memory, and, instead of excommunicating him, Pope Clement XIV awarded him with the Order of the Golden Spur. the cat was out of the bag, and the piece was published in 1771 for everyone to enjoy! Thanks, Wolfie!

My pleasure ☺️ 1:40 3:59 6:14 8:37

If it is this beautiful here, imagine how it will be in Heaven

I can't understand why some people in the world refuse to appreciate or listen to something beautiful like this just because they don't believe in it. I may be Agnostic (not the same thing as Atheism by the way), but I appreciate good music regardless of what it's about. This song is gorgeous and I enjoy Gregorian Chant in general. I could listen to it all day.

Ok...I know who stupid this might sound but I'm going to say it anyway. I'm muslim but this music is straight up perfection not even someone not religious can deny that.

Every time I hear that high C, I think of this song and go back to listen to it.

Without being religious this is an urgent awesomeness in perfection

The most overwhelming performance of Allegri's miserere mei. Every time I listen to it, The Sixteen take my breath away.

As a devout Atheist I find this ethereal., transcendental and sublime. I hereby declare myself a cultural Christian for life.

Make me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.

The must be one of the top 5 most beautiful pieces of music in the world !

I listened and listened to this leading up to my mother's passing. I imagined her being handed to God (if there be such a being).He would have been happy to take her but sad she had left us as we were. Unbelievable music straight to the heart. Epic.

Don't you just love Catholic compositions!

This song reminds me that even in the darkest moments of life, there is hope.

Miserere (full title: Miserere mei, Deus, Latin for "Have mercy on me, O God") is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins, as part of the exclusive Tenebrae service on Holy Wednesday and Good Friday of Holy Week.

This type of choral music is part of Catholic heritage and has its roots in the Gregorian Chant renditions of the various Old Testament psalms which monks and nuns have chanted throughout the centuries, for the glory of God. I suspect few non-Catholics would have shown any interest in this type of music in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially as The Age of Enlightenment was unfolding (and some would have actively condemned it). I am glad that more and more non-Catholics are beginning to appreciate this type of music, not just for the singing, but for the actual meaning of the words.

Je trouve ces chants d une pureté de cristal et j ai des chairs de poule et mes yeux sont remplis de larmes. C’est un bonheur total BRAVO À VOUS TOUS.

J'ai l'impression d'être à côté de Jésus quand je vous écoute. Toucher le ciel. Vous chantez comme des anges ! Merci !

Im protestant and I believe that Jesus Christ died for me and my sins and this hymn for God is Perfect!!! Only God and Jesus deserve our Adoration!!!

Based on Psalm 51 of King David, the entire world needs to beg for mercy and grace by singing this great hymn of repentance before it's too late!

Tears me up all every time I hear it.

So beautiful..makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I used to listen to this every night before I went to sleep....perfect peace.

I've never in my life heard anything more heavenly. This composition is so haunting and unspeakably beautiful, it's almost cruel.

Struggling with my physical and mental health at the moment this is beautiful

Gods music! The soprano is amazing

1:41 to 2:00 ....... o.O

my brother recommends listening to this with headphones after rolling a joint

We need more of this in the Catholic Church today. We’ve spiraled so far into secularism this type of music seems foreign and exotic. They perform it so beautifully.

Lyrics: Miserere mei, Deus Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata. Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis. Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me. Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me. Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur. Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam. Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis. Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies. Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem. Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

c 'est la voix des anges

This is just the most beautiful piece of praise I have ever heard. Thank you for posting it. I am mourning the loss of my husband and listening to it brings me such comfort.

The lady with blonde hair has been given the voice of an angel! Praise God! I really appreciate my being able to hear right now.

These people have the voices of angels. My soul is cleansed.

the story behind this song is brilliant and could be a movie in itself

I am religious and this cuts right into my very soul...the notes and the God given talents of these singers is a testament of their greatness to inspire these sounds and praises back to a good and loving God, AMEN!!! If you are not moved by this, it would be a shame!!

We did this piece at St Patrick's Cathedral for Ash Wednesday this year. It is one of those pieces of music that I can completely lose myself in. I swear that I'm on the verge of an out-of-body experience when I hear this piece.

What a beautiful singing with meaningful beautiful words Psalm 51 is one of my best. This kind of worship is missing in our protestant churches that's why i sometimes visit the catholic chruches to listen to them singing like angels sending love to every human being in this world please be happy

Oh my god it feels like heaven... Ultimate peace.. it's so powerful..

This reduces me to tears, so beautiful , I could listen to this forever......

What an amazing and beautiful rendition of Psalm 51. Listening to it gives me goose bumps and draws me closer to God!

What a masterpiece when soprano goes high it takes me to the ancient of days, to my father, to my God....

This will bring to ANYONE'S soul...!!! May everyone find peace and happiness through The Lord and his music.

Because the true & wonderful music is 🎶🎼🎵💙 for the eternity..............✨ Simply heavenly 🕊️🙏🏼!!!!!! . Thanks so much dear God😇 & Gregorio Allegri since 1638 for this exquisite musical legacy 🙏🏼.

I can´t find the words to describe how amazed I am on this version.

I am an atheist and i still love this song. I dont care about the lyrics!!!!

Love the prayerful and deliberate pauses. I have sang for over 30 years in choral groups and one thing I have learned is that less is more. Fewer people. Look at this group: 16 voices, all quality and pure voices with no other voices to dilute them.

This is what heaven sounds like !!!!! You'll here this music in front of the pearly gates. Remember........money wont buy your way in, & you cant take money with you.

1:17 Holy shit the lady has an amazingly bright sounding voice

This choir can make all gods from every religion come down to earth and sit quietly for a while ..

Exquisite! That high C has me in tears. Thank you for a beautiful performance.

This music seems as if it has come from another world. It gives peace to the soul.

Ce chant existent depuis 1630...quel beauté 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

WOW. Spine tingling. As good as it gets. Superb.

All I can say is God bless them and their God given talents. Using it to Glorify God. Amen.

This music comes from the angel’s world

My goodness, this is absolutely stunning.

I'm an atheist but I know how to appreciate all the beauty that sacred art, from Cathedrals to sacred music such as this one, has to offer.

FYI copied from wiki: the fourteen-year-old Mozart was visiting Rome, when he first heard the piece during the Wednesday service. Later that day, he wrote it down entirely from memory, returning to the Chapel that Friday to make minor corrections. Some time during his travels, he met the British historian Dr Charles Burney, who obtained the piece from him and took it to London, where it was published in 1771. Once the piece was published, the ban was lifted; Mozart was summoned to Rome by Pope Clement XIV, only instead of excommunicating the boy, the Pope showered praises on him for his feat of musical genius. The work was also transcribed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1831 and Franz Liszt, and various other 18th and 19th century sources survive. Since the lifting of the ban, Allegri's Miserere has become one of the most popular a cappella choral works now performed.[citation needed]

Tears instantly just poured out of my eyes in torrents!

It touches my heart.

The only song, where am at perfect peace. Heavenly singing and music🙏

Elin Manahan Thomas elevates this masterpiece to the heavens. No other woman has ever lifted a note to the realm of angels and cast me down to the depths of hell so profoundly.

This is a work of genius, I did this years ago when I was a choirboy, the most challenging song that I have ever tackled, but my most favorite also! A truly magnificent piece of music.

The most beautiful and relaxing piece of music ever!!! I am not a religious person, but this makes even me consider going back to church!!

This one of my favorite psalms so it was miraculous delight to my ears and my heart. The cry for forgiveness and restoration to Gods presence joins us with the heavenly choirs.

There is just something about this composition that moves my soul to a place I cannot describe...somewhere between intense joy and profound despair. It is exquisite...

O melhor que podemos dar-Lhe, parece tão pouco e eu não consigo conter as lágrimas. Nenhum argumento, por mais racional que seja, é tão bom como esta melodia.

Loving all the best things about Christianity here. Beautiful music, inspired by hope, faith and religion.

I'm an atheist but I love Catholic culture, and most family values. This style of music and the artistry associated to it will never be lost because of the church, so congrats! I love that the church invested so much in artists. I would like to recommend that people read about Miserere on Wikipedia and how Mozart as a child stole this song from the church as a boy and had to answer to the Pope himself! Its an excellent read.

My teacher show us this in music class... Amazing to see that all the students (even the loud/annoying ones) suddenly ceased their talking and just stared in awe after hearing the soprano's voice....

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard; and I love all forms. However, somehow the way the voices compliment the Latin conveys not only sorrow, but forgiveness; loss and hope; emptiness and fullness all equally and at the same time. Great for any season, Faith, or philosophy.

this is one of the purest, most beautiful performances of this song i've ever heard. and i've listened to quite a few renditions. this is truly a timeless piece

Beautiful. My time in a cathedral choir in the 80's comes flooding back l

Che musica "divina"! Da ascoltare in silenzio per ritrovare se stessi!

Originally banned from the pope of the time this song was presented. He claimed the music was simply too beautiful for human ears. After listening to this choir, and especially the lady who hit the highest note, i could almost agree. ='O

Only faith in God can bring about such beautiful music.

Whenever I feel guilty, I often listen to this classic. And the feelings that David felt at that time spring in my heart and It reminds me of my wickedness, that is, my sinful nature. Before God, I am a sinner. But He has saved a great sinner like me by His Holy Blood on the Cross. It has been carved in my heart and mind. Thanks to that Grace, As I lose my way toward the Heaven, My heart teaches me lessen all the time. The Lesson is that JX is the way, the Truth, and the Life. The Truth sets me free. I wish I could devote myself to The Truth. I really appreciate this song.

Listening in a quiet room , with powerful ,bass enhancing type headphones,I feel so ... holy. And I'm not particularly religious, but if theres anything on Earth has a streak of God in it, it has to be this.

Thank goodness for young little mozart to reproduce this from memory for all to enjoy! Such a moving piece, and that top C... wow!

I cried when I heard this

That's what real art is. A human expression to prayse not our filthy desires and sins, but the Glory of God and The Holy Church.

Mi chiedo come possa non piacere a sette persone! Esecuzione spettacolare!
